Onsite Resource Center

Cancer Education at the John B. Amos Cancer Center in Columbus, GA

Knowledge is empowering and we want to provide our community and the patients we serve with the knowledge needed to prevent cancer, and to conquer it when faced with a cancer diagnosis. At the John B. Amos Cancer Center, we believe that empowering our patients and their families with knowledge and resources about cancer care, treatment, rehabilitation, and prevention is a necessary step in giving back to the community that helped build us up.

Our Resource Center is a great place for those who are seeking information about anything from healthy eating to published studies on various types of cancer.

Information is available in a variety of formats, including books, CDs, tapes (audio and video), and DVDs. A touch screen kiosk makes it easy for anyone to find relevant information, and an educator is always ready to assist you.

As the region's leading provider of healthcare, Columbus Regional Health has touched the lives of most of the children and adults in this region through its comprehensive network of services. Located in the West Georgia city of Columbus, Columbus Regional was established in 1986 as a not-for-profit health services organization, but its roots can be traced back to 1836 when the local hospital was a small wooden building on the banks of the Chattahoochee River.
